Your questions answered
Common questions
Is online therapy with a counselling psychologist as effective as in-person sessions?
While many people prefer finding a psychologist near me for face-to-face sessions, research shows that online therapy can be equally effective.
As a counselling psychologist, I use secure video platforms that allow us to maintain the same level of connection and therapeutic rapport as in-person sessions.
Online therapy offers additional benefits like convenience, accessibility from any location, and the comfort of receiving support from your own space.
What makes a counselling psychologist different from other mental health professionals?
A counselling psychologist undergoes extensive training in both psychological theory and practical therapeutic techniques.
We focus on helping clients with various life challenges, emotional difficulties, and personal growth goals.
Unlike some other mental health professionals, counselling psychologists take a holistic approach, considering your entire life context, including relationships, career, personal development, and overall well-being.
How do I know if I'm ready to start therapy?
If you’re searching for a “psychologist near me,” you’ve already taken an important first step. There’s no “perfect” time to start therapy – some people seek support during specific life challenges, while others want to work on personal growth or understanding themselves better.
Common signs that therapy might be helpful include feeling overwhelmed, experiencing relationship difficulties, struggling with anxiety or depression, or simply wanting to improve your mental well-being.
What can I expect in the first therapy session?
Your first session with a counselling psychologist is about getting to know each other and establishing comfort. We’ll discuss what brings you to therapy, your goals, and any concerns you may have.
This initial meeting helps us create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs. It’s also an opportunity for you to ask questions and ensure you feel comfortable with my approach as your counselling psychologist.
How often will I need to attend therapy sessions?
The frequency of sessions depends on your individual needs and goals. Most clients start with biweekly sessions to build momentum and establish a strong therapeutic relationship.
As you progress, we might adjust to monthly sessions. As your counselling psychologist, I’ll work with you to determine the most beneficial schedule for your healing journey.
Are my therapy sessions confidential?
Yes, confidentiality is a fundamental aspect of working with a counselling psychologist. Everything discussed in our sessions remains private, with few legal exceptions (such as risk of harm to self or others, which I’ll explain in detail during our first session).
This confidentiality applies equally to both online and in-person sessions, and I use end to end secure, and compliant platforms for online therapy.
Do you offer flexible scheduling for therapy sessions?
Yes, I understand that finding a psychologist near me with convenient timing can be challenging.
I offer flexible scheduling options, including evening and weekend appointments, to accommodate different time zones and work schedules.
You can easily book, reschedule, or manage your appointments through my online booking system.
What payment methods do you accept, and do you work with insurance?
I accept various payment methods including credit cards, bank transfers, and digital payments.
While I don’t directly bill insurance companies, I can provide you with detailed receipts for reimbursement if your insurance covers counselling psychologist services.
We can discuss fees and payment options during our initial consultation.
